Monday ~~ April 20

 Good Morning folks! It's cloudy Monday morning here in Guangzhou with a high chance of rain.

Steve & I intentionally woke up early so we could go down to the breakfast buffet and have a little couple time before the rest of the crew got up.  Refreshing to start the day together! The toddlers woke up soon after we returned. So we will help them get dressed & then take the second batch down for breakfast.

Yesterday we did some touring at a local art gallery. It was very humid and we could feel the sweat running! The children went swimming in the afternoon. They have a little kiddie pool for the toddlers to play in, which is nice!  

A welcome play area while we waited for our flight to Guangzhou. 

This is what the tired parents did while the children ran off energy at the play area. 

The famous bag of cheerios

The blue tape that helped distract on the plane ride. It ended up on his arms, legs and on daddy's arms.

At the medical exam..

Our entire travel group

Notice the lovely greenery! We are all wearing our China shirts except for Derek...his was in the laundry.

Last night Ruth joined some of the travel group on a river cruise. I was so glad she had some time away to have fun and relax as she is constantly serving!!
